10.02.24

Partner Mark Skerry was quoted in an article titled, “New Proposed U.S. Outbound Investment Rules Seen as Starting Point in D.C., Lawyers Say,” which was published by Mergermarket. When discussing how the Treasury Department’s outbound investment rule proposal has been viewed as a starting point and there is a possibility for expansion of the program in the future, Mark noted, “Once it gets a handle of how things are going with these few sectors, the U.S. government may evaluate whether it should expand the program to cover more countries, more sectors, and whether it should expand the program to encompass additional types of transactions.” He went on to further indicate that the new U.S. outbound regime is being watched closely around the world, including by some European countries that may be considering the value of implementing a similar program of their own.
